0:09.0	Welcome to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.
0:12.0	I'm Marley from Los Angeles.
0:14.0	I'm 10 years old and I'm interviewing Amy Landecker,
0:18.0	who is the narrator of last week's episode of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.
0:22.6	If you hadn't heard from last week's episode, now is a good time to go back and check it out.
